I have massive amounts of dislike for decoupaging.
There. I said it.
When I was a teenager, we had youth activities at church every Wednesday night. One night during my high school years, there was decoupaging. We were all given a hand mirror (it was an all girls activity, obviously) which we were supposed to decoupage. I did mine, but it was pretty much a hideous mess of epic proportions. The finished product was so awful looking that my mom, when she came to pick me up, said, "Wow. What went wrong here?" Talk about motherly love, eh?
Unfortunately, she was speaking the truth. I am fairly certain I ended up throwing the poor mirror out that night. I didn't even let it finish drying! What was the point?
That was the first and last time I attempted the art of decoupage. I hope never to do it again.
So this post doesn't seem too dreary, let me add this: Decoupage may not be for me, but when it's done well, it can be quite stunning. Those suitcases linked from the main post, for example, are fantastic. I would love to own one. (Some of the other stuff... maybe not.)
